After a night of partying at the Met Gala on Monday, it's no wonder Kim Kardashian arrived late on Tuesday to the official launch of her new book of selfies, "Selfish." Best tidbits she revealed: that barely-there Roberto Cavalli gown she wore to the gala was inspired by a photo of Cher wearing something similar in the 1970s. The Kardashians are producing a show on what it was like to find out about her stepfather Bruce Jenner's transition from male to female. And (not really a surprise) Kanye helped select the photos for the book. [The Cut]

Los Angeles Times Fashion Critic Booth Moore muses on the revealing gowns worn by Kardashian, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez to the Met Gala. They all "managed to capture the spotlight at an event celebrating fashion by wearing very little of it." she says -- pretty much celebrating themselves and thir beautiful bodies more than fashion.
